Transfers and rumors of January 17: "Arsenal" received more news about newcomers

On the 1st of January, the winter transfer window for European players opened and will continue until the end of the month.

The most visited country's football news portal "EuroFootball.com" will provide the most interesting news about possible player transfers and completed deals to its visitors every day until the end of the month.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is demanding that Borussia Dortmund release him to Arsenal in London, the English newspaper "Daily Mirror" reported. The Gabon national team striker has already agreed on personal contract terms with the Gunners, but the Germans will only release him if they receive Olivier Giroud.

Meanwhile, the next potential Arsenal newcomer Henrikh Mkhitaryan wants to become the highest paid player at the club. This could cause issues in completing his exchange for Alexis Sanchez, according to "Daily Record".

If Aubameyang finally leaves, Borussia would want to replace him with Michy Batshuayi, who is unsuitable for Chelsea coach Antonio Conte, according to "Bild".

However, Goal.com reveals that the "aristocrats" are not yet prepared to even loan the Belgian as they have not finalized a deal for Andy Carroll.

Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho is still trying to convince the club executives to keep midfielder Marouane Fellaini, whose contract expires next summer, according to "The Sun".

According to the "Daily Mirror", Mourinho himself is close to extending his contract - he would extend his cooperation with the "Red Devils" until 2021, when his current contract is valid until the summer of 2019.

Barcelona defender Aleix Vidal, who is no longer of interest to Sevilla, could move to Liverpool or Manchester United, according to "Estadio Deportivo".

The unhappy goalkeeper Simon Mignolet from Liverpool is linked to a possible €20 million move to Napoli, according to "Liverpool Echo".

During this transfer window, Sevilla's main target is Michy Batshuayi, but if they fail to attract him, all efforts will be put into the transfer of Daniel Sturridge. The Englishman played very little for Liverpool this season, according to "AS".

Leicester City coach Claude Puel revealed in an interview that Riyad Mahrez will not be let go without a fight, and his price could rise to as much as £100 million in the summer.
